UK: The Institute of Refrigeration is calling for nominations of individuals or teams from around the world who have made recent outstanding technical achievements in refrigeration and related fields.
The annual J&E Hall International Gold Medal is designed to encourage progress rather than acknowledge past achievement and is open to individuals or teams with recent outstanding achievements in one or more of the following areas:
Practical applications of innovative designs
Projects which have made an original contribution to the field
Systems which demonstrate substantial potential and evidence that they will be completed successfully
Outstanding and significant work in a new or unusual area
Past recipients include such refrigeration greats as Prof Gustav Lorentzen, Prof P Ole Fanger, Prof Don Cleland, Mr Ron Conry and Prof Pega Hrnjak.
The presentation will take place at the 113th Institute of Refrigeration Annual Dinner in London, UK and the winner will receive a Gold Medal to hold for one year, a silver replica to keep and a cash award of £5,000.
